HB1147 updates South Dakota's medical cannabis law to clarify what counts as a legitimate doctor-patient relationship for cannabis recommendations. The bill specifies that a valid relationship requires the doctor to have examined the patient's medical history and current condition (either in person or via telehealth), discussed the patient's qualifying medical condition, and be available for follow-up care.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
